| So! My time passes quite pleasantly, if not without events. Moll Flanders and Pride and Prejudice are done with, though I somewhat regret having finished Pride and Prejudice so quickly. It is a remarkable book, though.. somehow, I'm disappointed with the ending. Perhaps I'm demented, but I think four marriages in one book is just too much. Let's see... my favorite characters were mr. bennet, then lizzy, and the rest i dont really care for. but fitzwilliam? darcy was nice too. i dont know which character i could identify most with, but if i were to, id like to be darcy, definitely.
Four weeks have passed since summer started... i really should be actively working towards getting a permit....
Anyhow, I got my AP scores... 4,5,5, and 5 (The 4 going to us history and the 5's to calculus, english, and statistics).

| Well! I have finally rid myself of some dang viruses. It's quite fun removing viruses after you get the big ones that cause your computer to restart constantly and give error messages. I have no idea what my last post was but... I think my junior year ended satisfactorily. I'm tired of regretting. Next year, I will speak my thoughts without restraint, or at least, I'd like to, or think I want to.
This summer is going to be completely boring. No summer school, no events, just the television and laptop. I know I should get a job or volunteer somewhere, but... I'm just clueless as to where to begin. As a change of pace, I've been reading Moll Flanders and have Great Expectations and Pride and Prejudice queued inbetween the DotA games, movies, manga, and AcaDec reading.
I hope I got a 4.67 gpa again. Alas, I think I failed to get an A in art. I have yet to see the report card even though many others got them already. I am content with my SAT scores. 2070 for SAT I, 800 for math II, 740 for physics, and 680 for us history.
My parents have arbitrarily decided I should apply for a driver's license already, but I really think I have no ability to pass it. It meaning the vision exam, the written test seems simple. I really don't think my left eye can score 20/40.
Hmm.. I wonder what next year without the seniors of 08 is going to be like. Death day of my grandpa today, it's been 8 years... or was it 7.. eww i cant remember at all, but its definitely not 9 or 6, but i still remember the few hours when i heard the news.

| Anyhow so... i don't feel like updating again. My flair for updating has passed and now its a dull passion(just like tennis is). Well.. this year's tennis season was better than last year's, i at least played in every game possible, even though i hate it. I really prefer just playing just 2 sets instead of 3.
And then sometime during spring break was the acadec camping trip... uhh... i forgot what happened. i got lost when we were meeting up at arroyo cause jason and i were the only ones that didnt get a ride from bolen, but somehow, he found everyone and i didnt. the camping site was near camarillo(i didnt know there was so much farm land there).
AP testing... hmm... ehh.. i think i did well on the statistics ap test but not on any of the others. i screwed up calculus's free response cause everything had "justify your answer"(gawd i dont know how to give reasons for why something so logical just is). I just want to pass all of them at the very least(which i really doubt but id be wasting $84 for each one i fail).
Oh yea, i got my SAT score today! It is so much better than last time's... well... in a way. I did meet my "easy" goal of getting at least 650+ on reading and writing and 700+ on math, but then i didnt get 2100+. I only got 2070... which is at least a 190 improvement from last time and above 2000.
So... junior year is ending... it all seemed to fly by so quickly, though there were some times that just dragged on and on. I dont miss it at all(well maybe i do a little for all the little things that i would have liked to fix). I cant say that my high school years have been very eventful. My way of thinking of whats good and whats bad changes so often that i dont really know what really is good and what really is bad anymore. Have my morals become corrupt themselves? What a depressing thought... Well, i really dont care anymore... Perhaps i live too much for a future that does not really exist and neglect the present, but what i think of the present now is not elegant at all. Many things are disgusting and despicable, while i can only see a few if any appealing elements in my surroundings(ahahaha somehow, i think of The Catcher in the Rye. I finished it already and i seem to understand his perspective. I just need to say "goddam" more often and i could probably be him[minus the sex mania, good looks, and connections]). I fear what summer will bring... I dont have any plans at all. Though id like to get a job and stuff... ill be at camarillo and i have no experience at all with that kind of stuff. Not only that, but i want to learn how to drive... but i dont have the passion to learn how to stay awake in a metal case while moving my arms a little(instead of dozing off in a shell of synthetic fibers? or whatever the seats of a car are made of).

| ahh i hate the new xanga homepage or whatever. yes! its sunday again! more random typing of what i thought about the week
hmm.. well i guess im reading hana kimi now( manga that deals with a girl going to an all boy's school?). anyways, im hoping that this will be the last manga i read for a long while because i want to get back to reading the old, long (usually boring) books that enrich the mind. i blame this on stanley. because of the time periods and type of books... i dont have time to just read for fun! rawr her(i also blame the oral book reports...).
spring break is coming up. i can just imagine it... llamas : read chapter ## and do #-###. the great gatsby for english, a ton of chapters of history, no homework for physics(yay bolen), and no homework for calculus?(maybe yay bolen)
as for physiology... its gonna be a wasted day... i can imagine someone saying "this is the last day of school before spring break, cant we have a break mister?" and for art, i show animosity towards it(james and dexter[thank you for the songs] keep laughing about this word cause according to me... "if you show animosity towards the sea gulls, they wont crap on you"). i want to start painting already... though... it wont be as fun as in my fantasies(where im an artist that rivals monet[or whatever that guy was that painted water lilies])
..... i think ive become dependent on posting(maybe); or maybe i just want to ramble incoherently.
jv versus varsity tomorrow(since our jv preseason sucked!![we only played 1 game...............]). then emhs on tuesday and semhs on thursday.

| Dang, I've succumbed to my depressed side again. I guess it's cause I didnt work on history. Oh well, so ive signed up for the SAT again in May... just when all the AP testing is too; but i guess its cause i want 1 more sat I score for my junior year so i can take the sat II in june. Tennis is going poorly!! we have only had 1 pre-season game( though we won) and i almost lost against simon (i really have no talent at all for tennis).
Lately, I feel that I don't belong in a place like this; that I should've been born in a different time or a different place... The things that people here cherish most are not at all what I consider important and vice-versa. Maybe I don't belong anywhere and my "ideal" world never exists. Ah... this recurring sorrow is punishment for not doing my homework and reading too much manga.
